Torque specs

[Ppatat]

Does anybody have the torque specs for upper and lower control arms? Control arm to frame and ball joints. I can’t find my service manual and can’t find what I’m looking for online.
2003 Avalanche 2 wheel drive

 

[MS03 2500]

See if this helps BTW to the club

These are also the specs for a 2005 1500 4x4, correct? The ball joint stud nuts are the same as what I found already so am assuming yes.

There is a difference in the lower control arm to frame spec, maybe another:

Anyone happen to have the rear suspension torque specs? I've tried looking online and am finding front specs like above. The website Chevy Specs thinks the Avalanche has leaf springs so I now call into question their info.

Here you go. BTW, the 2500's have rear leaf springs and the GM Service Manual includes both 1500 and 2500 specs and instructions together.

Hold up, what?

Hold up, what?

That holds the leaf spring to the axle.

REAR WHEEL STEERING NOT AN OPTION EVER on AVY.

Service book covers all GM trucks so burbs, silverados etc... so things get mashed together.

Ok, I don't have a 2500, but when I read that I was thinking there was an option on them I'd never heard of!
